LA Now The ‘City Of Rats’? Report Warns Of ‘Alarming Increase’ In Rodent Population
LA Now The ‘City Of Rats’? Report Warns Of ‘Alarming Increase’ In Rodent Population – CBS Los Angeles
07/16/2019 ~ LOS ANGELES (CBSLA)
“California is being overrun by rodents – and without immediate emergency action by state and local government, we face significant economic costs and risk a public health crisis,” said Carl DeMaio, chairman of Reform California, at a news conference Tuesday at City Hall in downtown Los Angeles.
DeMaio highlighted the findings of the group’s new report which cited an increase in the state’s homeless population, along with elimination of the most effective pest control tools, as “significant” factors on the ongoing crisis. The study surveyed nearly two dozen private pest control companies that operate throughout California and found all of them reported that Rat Service Requests were up “substantially” in the last 12 months.
Pest control professionals and sanitation workers told the survey team they observed an “alarming increase” in Norway rats moving around during the day, behavior that experts described as “highly abnormal”.

It seems LA and NY are mirror images of each other. Fascinating. Up to and including the four foot and two foot variety of RATS. I guess what they need is more illegal aliens entering Los Angeles along with the homeless. That ought to seal the deal to bubonic plague. I understand that there's already an epidemic of Typhus there. I understand that San Francisco is close behind L.A., It appears that one the East, New York City isn't far behind although they've been shipping the homeless to other cities...

KABC’s Dr. Drew Pinsky thinks so… and on his KABC Radio show warned LA City Councilman Mitch Englander that there’s going to be an outbreak of something like the plague. “There’s going to be, Mitch…there’s going to be an outbreak of something like the plague…some rodent-borne either rickettsial like typhus…or plague.
